PA3EWP and ON4AHF at the GM-DX convention
Ron PA3EWP and Henk ON4AHF attended the GMDX Convention in Stirling Scotland where they gave a presentation on the EP6T -Expedition. It was very enjoyable and interesting to meet top Dx-ers and exchange experiences.

QSL delivery by MØURX
3,008 Direct letters have been posted for EP6T delivery is between 3 - 7 days.
Packages also sent to GDXF, DDXG & SDXG.
ALL Bureau cards requested before the 8th March have now been sent to all World Bureaus on our mailing today.
We would like to thank Charles M0OXO, who helped Tim process the letters over the last few days. It has taken over 100 man hours since the arrival of the cards from the printer last week to label cards, fill the envelopes & package the directs and bureau.
36 Busy hours later, the EP6T operators have arrived home.
This expedition took place in extremely difficult circumstances.
Despite many hurdles such as security, customs, power losses, the visit of more than 30 officials and observers and an extremely high QRM level caused by man made noise with occasional peaks up to over S9, we still managed to retrieve more than 68,000 Q's !
The Rockall Dx Group is proud to inform you that our goal to promote amateur radio in Iran, hence opening doors for both local radio amaters as future DXpedition groups, has been achieved.
Dr. Azim Fard, General Director of the CRA, has assured to further keep supporting ham radio in Iran by creating exams and establishing new clubs.
The translation of our 150 page course to Farsi will be a good guide and will soon also be downloadable for free in the neighboring countries.
As always we would like to thank our sponsors for their trust in the Rockall Dx Group and hope to be able to count on you in the future.
Individual sponsors who have joined our log will receive a QSL card free of charge.
Max ON5UR is currently busy with the QSL design which Tim M0URX will then further distribute, taking this roll as his lead.
A video of this adventure will be made available shortly.
We have learned a lot but still there is so much more to tell, therefor we will be visiting the DX convention for a presentation in CA, GMDX, FDH and perhaps in your club with a Powerpoint presentation.
See you all soon in a new and exciting DXadventure!
The Rockall DX Group.
